After applying the workaround the system is booting the expected 
snapshot 3; validation confirms that program "reportbug" is not installed.
Executing the following commands the Grub entries will change and load 
the new default snapshot 6 only as documented in attached screenshot.

Linux vm103-debian9 4.9.0-9-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.168-1+deb9u3 
(2019-06-16) x86_64

This means that only snapshot 6 will be booted independant of the 
defined default snapshot.
Hence any further snapper rollback will be ignored.
